Will never forget

First time here from kansas. Was a very breath taking drive in. Took almost 2 hours through the terrain but got through fine with a ram 2500 diesel. You will need 4x4 in a few spots. Probably the most secluded and quietest spot you’ll ever camp. Only down side was the gnats at night but having a propane lantern in the distance took care of that.

A little tough to find, but worth it

The second stop when we did the White Rim trail, it was pretty much a minimally marked site with a vault toilet a bit of a walk away. We brought our camp stove for cooking, and enjoyed a quiet evening in the tree shade. BEAUTIFUL stargazing!

White Rim Trail Camping.

Permit camping throughout the 100 mile White Rim Trail. (About $15 a night). This campsite was super quiet. Sunset looks beautiful on the rocks. There is no elevated view, you are down in the bottom of the canyon. There are restrooms on site. An owl visited our campsite during the night, which was awesome! Mosquitoville, so come prepared. 😳
